Karen
Zolnay of
Hawk
Haven Orchids
How to Hybridize the
Orchids you Love
Hawk Haven Orchids
started 20 years ago. Over the past
decade, Karen has amassed a diverse
collection of orchid plants.
Recently, she has embarked on an
ambitious hybridization project to
create vivid blue cattleya flowers.
This project is an international
collaborative effort with many of
the top hybridizing experts in the
field. The blue color is quite
difficult to achieve; many have
tried with limited success. It is
the hope that through this
collaborative effort, the team will
be able to succeed within the
decade!
